🌿 About Me

A life shaped by change, curiosity, and the desire for deep connection.

My path into this work hasn’t been linear — more like a spiral. I’ve lived many lives: in the military, in art school, in corporate fashion, on farms and in tiny houses, as a quilter, community organizer, counselor, and spa owner. I’ve moved countries, transitioned genders, and begun again more times than I can count.

For a long time, I couldn’t see how all these lives fit together. But now I understand:
They were all different ways of asking the same questions.

Where do I belong? How do I find meaning in life?
What does it mean to feel safe in my body, my story, my becoming?
How do I live in alignment with what matters most?

🌱 Burnout was the turning point

Like many, I spent years striving and seeking — overworking, overgiving, and quietly shrinking myself to fit identities that once protected me, but no longer fit.

Eventually, I burned out.
Not just in my work, but in my being.
And though it was painful, that burnout became a threshold — a gateway into something more honest and deep than I ever could have imagined.

It taught me that alignment doesn’t come from pushing harder.
It comes from listening more deeply.
From letting go of roles and identities that asked me to disappear.
From remembering that my body — and life itself — moves in rhythms and constant emergence, not deadlines or tidy boxes.

That experience now lives at the heart of what I offer.
